Services Offered

Anxiety and Depression - Life's experiences can leave us feeling tense and overwhelmed, or can drain us of energy, focus and enjoyment. Whether you are dealing with anxiety or depression, our therapists are ready to help, with treatment methods geared to your needs and preferences, so you can get a handle on your situation and get back to living your life to the fullest.

Trauma - Traumatic experiences can haunt us, with images and emotions that can seem to take over our lives and relationships. Our therapists are ready to come alongside you in your trauma, offering effective treatment, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy and Lifespan Integration Therapy, that will help you work through your trauma and take back your life.

Relationship/Couple Counseling - Relationships take effort. Whether you are just starting out or have been together for years, our therapists can help you work through your differences and get your relationship on track, using tools and therapies such as Prepare/Enrich and Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples.

Parenting/Families/Children - Every parent, family, and child runs up against rough spots. Our staff includes therapists who work with parents, children and families, providing guidance and helping families work through their struggles and differences.

Faith & Spirituality - Faith and spirituality can be a source of strength, meaning and healing in our lives. On the other hand, our experiences in the community of faith can be hurtful - even abusive. If you wish to weave faith and spirituality into your counseling, want to grow in your spiritual life, or are seeking to heal from hurtful experiences in the church, we are here to walk with you.

Grief/Loss/Transition - Life is full of transitions. If you are looking ahead to the future, wondering who you are and how to live out your gifts, we are here to help you in that process of self-discovery. If you are experiencing grief and loss due to death of a loved one or loss of a job, dream or relationship, we are here to walk beside you, and help you find new meaning and purpose.
